The Department: Herbarium
It is headed by Usik Nadezhda Anatolievna, Candidate of Botany, reader
The date of the foundation of the department is 1983.
Herbarium was founded on the basis of the Botanical Department of the Biological Faculty. The collections of Herbarium have been made within the framework of field practice, writing research works and diplomas by students of the Department of Botany. In 1995 Herbarium was registered in Index Herbarium and it was given an international acronym –ALTB. Now the collection of Herbarium is presented by primary and duplicative samples. The primary collection (about 250000 units) is shown with the help of lower and higher plants. The collection of lower plants consists of lichens. Higher plants are mostly presented by vascular plants.
The collection of lichens has existed since 1995 and numbers about 1000 taxons. Gatherings of the supervisor of the collection E.A. Davydov (1994 - 2004) make up the basis of the primary collection. It was made on the territories of Altay (Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and China), in Astrakhanskaya and Volgogradskaya regions, Scandinavia (Finland, Norway), Spain (Catalonia). E.I. Skachko collected plants in the Altay Territory and in Sverdlovskaya Oblast. There are 86 units of Lichenitheca Rossia made by V.P. Savich.
In 2005 on the first of May the database had 2847 registrations. Vascular plants that are classified according to the geographical criterion make up nearly 90 % of the collection. The collections which are made in such regions as the Altay Territory, Altay Republic, Tyva, Kazakhstan, China, Khakas comprise 2/3 of the whole collection. Herbarium has typical samples that are classified according to different Taconic groups of higher plants.
